John James Geer, Beyond the lines: A Yankee prisoner loose in Dixie, Chapter 18: (search)

s shed upon us in our dreary prison. About this time, I became acquainted with Simeon B. Eckels. He was very sick, and requested me often to pray for him. Our friendship was as cordial as it was short, for his sickness was unto death. The God who sent his angel to free his apostle Peter, took our sick brother by the hand, and led him from out the noisome prison to the mansions above, where care comes not, and where sickness is not known. He died at half past 10 o'clock, P. M., on August 22, 1862. For several days prior to his death, I was constantly by him, and was much gratified with the manifestations he gave of preparation for the future. Brother Eckels gave me the name of the church in Iowa to which he belonged, also the names of his mother and sister, who lived in Ohio. He requested me to visit the latter. His thoughts were centred solely upon heaven and his mother, and in his moments of revival he would often repeat the lines: My mother, at thy holy name, Within

ust censure, all based on the general accusation that the President, and many army officers as well, were neglecting their duty under pro-slavery influences and sentiments. The open letter which Mr. Lincoln wrote in reply is remarkable not alone for the skill with which it separated the true from the false issue of the moment, but also for the equipoise and dignity with which it maintained his authority as moral arbiter between the contending factions.

ly to the existence of our country, but to the well-being of mankind, I entreat you to render a hearty and unequivocal obedience to the law of the land. Yours, Horace Greeley. The President — very unexpectedly — replied to this appeal by telegraph: in order, doubtless, to place before the public matter deemed by him important, and which had probably been prepared for issue before the receipt of the letter to which lie thus obliquely responded: Executive Mansion, Washington, Aug. 22, 1862. Hon. Horace Greeley: dear Sir: I have just read yours of the 19th instant, addressed to myself through The New York Tribune.

saw such a sight as I never saw before: Two thousand men ready to enlist as recruits, and not a man of them who had not a white biled shirt on. Changing sentinels of first colored troops in New Orleans, August, 1862, from an oil Painting. One regiment was mustered within fourteen days of the call, the first regiment of colored troops ever mustered into the service of the United States during the War of the Rebellion, established and became soldiers of the United States on the 22d day of August, 1862. In a very short time three regiments of infantry and two batteries of artillery were equipped, drilled, and ready for service. Better soldiers never shouldered a musket. They were intelligent, obedient, highly appreciative of their position, and fully maintained its dignity. They easily learned the school of the soldier. I observed a very remarkable trait about them. They learned to handle arms and to march more readily than the most intelligent white men. My drillmaster coul

Report of Brigadier Trimble of battle of Hazel River. Morse's Neck, army of Northern Virginia, January 30, 1863. Lieutenant-General T. J. Jackson, commanding Second Army Corps on Rappahannock: General: In compliance with your order of this date, I furnish a report of the operations of my (Seventh) brigade on the twenty-second August, 1862, in the battle of Hazel River. About ten o'clock A. M. that day, I was left with orders from General R. S. Ewell to station my brigade about a mile distant from the ford on Hazel River, near Wellford's Mill, where the army crossed. The object of my force was to protect the flank of our wagon train from the enemy, who had moved up the north side of the Rappahannock almost simultaneously with our forces. About twelve M., I received information that the enemy (Sigel's division) had

pe. Before relating these incidents, however, we must take a general view of the field. General Pope's headquarters at this moment were at Culpeper, with a large part of his army, but he had left much of his personal baggage and many of his private papers at Catlett's, a station on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad between Culpeper and The Unheeded Warning. Here we see Catlett's Station, on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, which Stuart's cavalry seized in a night sortie on August 22, 1862. The damage done was not severe. Stuart was unable to burn the loaded wagon-trains surrounding the station and had to content himself with capturing horses, which he mounted with wounded Federal soldiers; he escaped at four the next morning, driven off by the approach of a superior force. Pope, at the time, was in possession of the fords of the Rappahannock, trying to check the Confederate advance toward the Shenandoah. Stuart's raid, however, so alarmed General Halleck that he imme
